How to Get Clay on Minecraft: Your Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to get your hands on some clay in Minecraft? We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know to add this versatile resource to your inventory.
Getting clay in Minecraft isn’t as tricky as it might seem. Let’s dive right into finding and using clay, a key ingredient for many crafting recipes in the game.
Where to Find Clay in Minecraft
Clay usually hangs out near water. Look for it in rivers, lakes, or ocean biomes. It’s bluish-gray in color and found under the water. When you spot some, dive in!
You’ll need a tool to harvest it – ideally a shovel. Without a tool, it’ll take longer to collect. Once you start digging, clay breaks into 4 clay balls. Collect these balls, and you’re good to go!
Turning Clay Into Creative Projects
Got your clay balls? Great! You can use them to craft clay blocks or turn them into bricks in a furnace. These bricks can become part of your next big build, like a cozy fireplace or a stunning castle.
Creative mode gives you unlimited resources, including clay. But, if you’re in Survival mode, gathering clay adds to the fun and challenge. Remember, the world of Minecraft is your oyster, and clay is just one of many treasures you can find.
